Inspector Cayman S

Advantages: Quick turn on and ready to work: no more than 3-5 seconds in any weather and temperature. The device does its job as a good employee: it does not burden the manager with unnecessary questions, but with proper quality. It hangs tightly in its place and does not hang out, does not rattle. When traveling off-road or on the "roads" of Kazakhstan, the camera has never changed its position on the holder.

A good panoramic grip and sensitive microphone: the front passengers can be heard perfectly, and the rear passengers are muffled, but legible. Sound alerts can not be missed (in some cases a bit excessive), and the female speaker’s voice is pleasant and clear. The inscriptions on the screen are readable in any conditions easily, but at night it does not blind.

It's nice that the manufacturer is paying attention to software updates. Regularly on the site there are new firmware, eliminating any shortcomings.

Disadvantages: I take the recorder every day when I leave the car in the parking lot. It takes skill to pull the device off the runners without displacing the mounting spindle. It is easy to put on back, but you need to practice for removal. It is bad that it is impossible to rotate (unfold) the recorder without in-depth manipulations with the holder. In general, the holder needs to be improved.

There were complaints about the intensity of sound alerts, especially when driving through areas controlled by Avtodoria or similar (average speed is measured). They could drive you crazy. The camera starts to make intermittent screeching sounds every 1-2 seconds, even if your speed is within "No Fine", but higher than the set one. For example, 93 km / h instead of 90 km / h. Since the average speed is often measured in areas of several kilometers in length, you begin to comprehend Zen under the registrar. The highest point, if Cayman for some reason missed the exit chamber and continues to report intensively that the average speed is slightly higher than the set speed and there is no end to it ...

Manufacturers should provide the ability to reset the alert on the current site without changing the general alert volume settings in the future. Like an alarm clock in the phone: the sound is nailed and you sleep until the next trigger.

Comment: For 7 months now, Cayman S has accompanied me on tourist trips by car in Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus. Together we drove a little more than 30 thousand kilometers. We saw the plains and mountains, looked out for stationary and mobile points fixing speed.

The wire for the recorder is hidden under the casing from an authorized dealer (and this freed up the cigarette lighter socket). SD card SanDisk Ultra Class 10 128 Gb. With a maximum video resolution of 128 gigabytes, you can save more than 14 hours in motion. When operating in the city - it's a few days, and even a week, if the car is used on short trips. Initially, I had a 16 GB card, and this was barely enough for several hours, which is bad: the information for which the registrar is being acquired can be lost under overwriting.

On trips the registrar justifies its cost. Especially if you switch it to the correct mode. For example, the "route" for long-distance travel. The device proactively signals suspicious activity along the course, and there is still time to react.

Advantages: small size, you can just hide behind the mirror, comfortable voice prompts. good build

Disadvantages: Sometimes on a bad road, in my Getz on the bumps lacking volume

Comment: In no way inferior to individual radar detectors, which is very important for such a compact combination model,
in my experience, there were no false positives yet. With daily recording, the details are just fine.
and at night, HDR saves all the numbers and layouts remain readable

Advantages: The quality of the device itself is decent, there is nothing to complain about, the plastic is normal and nothing creaks. The mount is good. The video is good day and night. Radar catches both on the highway and in the city. Signature mode works as it should, like it.

Disadvantages: The native video player does not understand the formats of its own region, but it doesn’t matter, the regular player does it.
REALLY NOT ENOUGH VOLUME! I did a little louder music, and everything, the aunt from the region did not hear already). The microphone, by the way, is also not a fountain, you have to listen to the voices when watching).
Well, it was once more that the region was working, but did not report about radars from the database, although it reacted to radars. It only helped to rewrite the software and GPS database on the map and re-insert it into the device, it worked, the glitch is shorter).

Comment: I use more than two months. Satisfied with the device. The only thing that has not yet been used is a shock sensor, so I don’t know how it works, well, it's for the best).
If anything, I personally recommend).

Advantages: 1. Signature mode. There are no extra positives in the city.
2. All fixed cameras are in the database so there is no problem with them.
3. Frequent database updates.
4. Shooting day and night is quite good.
5. Information on the displays is well viewed and read.
6. A bunch of settings for each mode.
7. Convenient menu management.

Disadvantages: Let's start with the same signature mode (Signature)
1. In this mode, it happens that simply does not work on the camera. Or it works after the camera has passed. Basically it is from the back. 2 fines came just like that. (Chambers Cordon 3 legs).
2. On the M5 highway near Samara there are cameras on 3 legs; there is absolutely no reaction whatsoever for them. I had to switch to TRACK mode.
3. Very silent alert. If you add a bit of music in the car and talk to someone, you just won't hear what the radar says to you.

Comment: This is of course a huge breakthrough in the creation of these devices, but before launching this product on the market, you should check it out on all types of cameras.

The device is satisfied. Let's hope that in the new updates, the developers will take into account the wishes of users and will work to eliminate these problems.

For now for this device 4-. With a very big minus.

Advantages: Several times the radar - really monitored Avtodoria (earlier there was a simple radar detector - he did not react to it).

Disadvantages: 1. Signature mode is NOT IMPLEMENTED in full:
I confirm that I did not notice the operation of gas stations and shops on the “automatic doors”, but in the K-band, X-band and LASAR bands - it catches the radios of truckers !! (we are talking naturally about the Signature mode).
Also did not understand if he eliminates "Adaptive Cruise Controls"? ..
2. During long-term operation (over 5..6 hours) and frequent triggering of the radar, the device sometimes “hung”, - it was necessary to turn off the device and turn it on after a while.
3. On a sunny day, there is a slight glare in the frame - the solution is to complete the registrar with a removable polarizing filter.

Comment: It is a pity that the manufacturer did not check this product in the realities of Russian roads. Waiting for firmware upgrade, maybe there will be an improvement. (I bought and tested the device in August 2017 on a trip to St. Petersburg - Moscow - Sochi)

Advantages: High quality video, even night shooting is pretty good. The base of stationary cameras knows all the cameras. Pleasant voice alerts, small size, good screen and general ease of use.

Disadvantages: I didn’t quite like just the radar detector, specifically the definition of the Chris-P radar. In the Signature IQ mode, such a radar was found in the forehead about 50 meters away, and in the back in general only after the fact. Maybe something will change with the new firmware

Comment: Overall impressions are very positive, but finding Chris-P is no good. I'll try again in the track mode, though we have such radars in the city

Advantages: The assembly is of high quality, the work of the rad-detector especially pleased with the signature mode, good ergonomics - I mean control, including on the move, fine work settings, as well as the information you want to see on the screen, decent video recording, level detail, voice prompts.

Disadvantages: At the first start, I did not see the purchased memory card previously for it, 128 GB, Ultra High Speed ​​(UHS I). After I wrote off tech support by mail, indicated that the problem was in the map, decided to make a knight's move and tried to insert a 16 GB card, it all worked, downloaded the firmware update from the offsite version 1.1.1, after the firmware he saw the cards and 128GB as well as 64 GB.

Comment: This is my first such combo system, I spent some time choosing a model and a manufacturer, the use time was little, of course, but as long as I am satisfied with the device, for the money it costs, I think everything is up to standard. Somewhere in the reviews they wrote that they allegedly heated up very much, it was certainly not cold, but not hot either, the usual temperature for a working device ....
